New Billy Bragg album coming soon

[Brewing Up With]

"Mr. Love & Justice" is the title. It's coming out April 22nd.

This is complete news to me (I've been kind of living under a rock for a couple of months, so bear with me) and I'm kind of excited. Any thoughts from the Punk forum?

I'll give it a listen when it comes out. I've never heard any new material from him, at all. I'm not the biggest fanboy but I like the material I do know. POSA

I am a bigger fan of his older stuff. His newer material is good, but I really have to be in the mood for it.

Definitely checking it out when it's released though.

Never got into it, won't listen.

i love billy bragg so much. so so much. i've seen him a couple times but the last time was my favourite. i went to the roundhouse in camden and he played loads of the kind of era choons i am into (brewing up with/life's a riot etc). he also played quite a lot of new stuff, he had a really long set. i quite liked mr love and justice stuff compared with the other songs he's been putting out in recent years. i can't stand all the america accent country music stuff he does, i just want essex folk poetry back, he has such a lovely voice without putting on that american one.

This records already out.. in fact I have a copy of it staring me in the face right now. Its pretty good... (although I find it hard to get excited about Billy Bragg these days).

haven't heard any of his new stuff

[StreetlightRock]

I saw him at the Big Day Out while waiting for Battles to come on and my gosh the guy can rant left wing politics for hours on end. Music was ok, didn't really make me go out to look for it later though.

I've only ever heard the 'Back to Basics' album. Is the other stuff on par with that, and is it worth checking out?

[Lexluthor]

Is the other stuff on par with that
No.

and is it worth checking out?
Depends on how much you care.

I like his verse on a collaboration with Less than Jake on one of the Rock Against Bush albums.
